Artist's Statement

"The style of my artwork is modern, yet classical/traditional and occasionally contemporary.  The composition and technique I use is influenced and inspired by the realism and romanticism of my favorite post-Renaissance Masters and their wonderful, timeless masterpieces. . .Predominantly figurative and of females, the tendency of my artwork is towards carefullycomposed anonymity, capturing the emotions and self-belief of the subject, rather than characteristic individual representation.

"The creation of figurative artwork not only depicts the emotions of the artist, it transforms the artist's emotions.  Also, it is far easier for all of us to carefully scrutinize figurative artwork and judge its anatomical accuracy, often creating a more personal understanding of specific favorite pieces.  My figurative artwork is often sensual and sometimes tastefully erotic. . . Art is a thing of beauty, not just an investment."
